Paradise exists in many forms. You could be spending an eternal moment where you were your happiest or have heavenly beauties surround you after a lifetime of service. Paradise, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
Yet, sometimes, we wish for a paradise specific to our needs. Perhaps our ideal time will be to spend it with your friends, companions, or confidants. Imagination is the limit to your ideals. More often than not, however, solitude may be what you seek in a hectic world of decisions and dreams. A time alone to your thoughts might be what the heavens prescribed.
